Microplastics are starting to attract the attention of #biotech. Looking for the latest trends? I mapped the #microplastics landscape. See who and what got funded and where research overlaps with other pollutants. www.engineeredresilience.org/microplastics

📣 Homeworld’s Pollution Program is spinning out Engineered Resilience, led by @sarah-i-daniels.bsky.social, to address an overlooked driver of chronic disease: pollutant exposures. If you’re a funder or #biotech builder and want to learn more, please reach out. 🔗 bit.ly/4dpM8vt

📣 Methane causes ~30% of global warming, & despite emissions reductions, a major gap will remain by 2050. #BiologicalMethaneRemoval is one of the most promising ways to close that gap. With @sparkclimate.bsky.social, we convened 30 experts, resulting in 22 problem statements. 🔗 bit.ly/3PdO1RL

Plastic → perfume? On the new Climate Biotech Podcast episode, César Ramírez-Sarmiento shares how his lab uses Antarctic enzymes to break down plastic at low temps and turn it into high value products, like fragrances, that fit Latin America's market needs. 🎧 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

📣 Big news from Homeworld: We’ve published over 50 problem statements from proposals submitted to our second Garden Grants program, focused on greenhouse gas removal.

Every technology starts with a techno-economic analysis (TEA) - a basic financial model that bridges ideas with practical feasibility. More than the financial sense, it shows that the innovator knows HOW your invention would become something in the real world. www.homeworld.bio/blog/the-uni...

The Unignorable Economics of Turning Science Into Technology

In this post, we share progress on an internal research project at Homeworld using AI to encourage technoeconomic thinking in climate biotech
